A charity has been set up to improve access to justice for people in Fife who can't afford to pay for legal services.

The Fife Law Centre will also help those who can't access legal aid or other forms of legal representation.

It is now seeking funding to allow it to open in the spring of next year.

Richard Henderson, president of the Law Society of Scotland, said: "Law centres play a vital part in opening the door to access to justice to many people who, for whatever reason, have difficulty in getting legal advice."
